My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 259 The Dust Settles
The ruthless verdict crushed the last trace of pride in Ning Bin's heart.

Thinking back to how she was the darling daughter of heaven, a being that all the ladies of the capital looked up to. Even after entering the palace for many years, she was still pampered and she was always aloof.

Overnight, she was demoted from a second-grade concubine to the lowest level of "talented person". From living alone in a palace with glory to being relegated to a cold palace where everyone heard about her, the gap was huge.

Ning Bin could not allow herself to fall into the quagmire one day, let alone become the object of ridicule.

This was even more embarrassing than killing her directly.

Ning Bin was unwilling to give in. She was about to open her mouth to defend herself, but the queen with sharp eyes and quick hands covered her mouth and pulled her back.

"The situation is over, and life is the most important thing. Jin'er might as well endure it for the time being and wait for a comeback in the future."

The queen whispered a few words of advice in Ning Bin's ear to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

His Majesty is already really angry, and to anger him now is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and seeking death.

After seeing the queen's mouth saying, "The family will find a way to rescue you from the cold palace," Ning Bin, whose rationality was about to collapse, finally calmed down and cast an extremely sinister look at Shen Yuan.

Today, her skills were inferior to others, so she accepted her defeat for the time being.

But sooner or later, she, Song Yunjin, will come back in glory.

Although she was unlucky, Princess Hetai and Shen Wei could not have it easy.

A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and Ning Cairen had no choice but to kneel down to accept the order and thank him.

"I thank the Lord for your kindness! It was all because of my bad words and deeds that my Majesty's dragon face was brought to shame. It is really hard to escape the blame. From now on, I can no longer serve the emperor. I hope that your majesty will take more care of your dragon body. I am guilty of this crime. , No harm will come to the children, and the relationship between the sixth prince and the fifth princess will depend on your majesty's care and compassion. Only if they are safe and sound, can I atone for my sins in the cold palace with peace of mind."

Ningcai wept so hard that he kowtowed three times to Emperor Qianyuan who was sitting on the dragon throne, and said again and again: "I am guilty of a crime, and your Majesty will punish you. I will never allow the eldest princess to marry outside." The woman stretched out her hand to hit His Majesty on the face. This is a crime of transgression and disrespect. The eldest princess clearly did not take Your Majesty into consideration when she acted like this."

Song Yunjin did not dare to mention Princess Hetai forcing herself to take poison, which would be equivalent to reminding Emperor Qianyuan of his own mistakes, so she only dared to use the words "transgression and disrespect" to sow the relationship between the two.

Faced with Ning Cai's behavior of trying to support others even to death, Princess Hetai rolled her eyes fiercely. This level of eye drops was really nothing to her.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed done something wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment. The sage has said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. Ningcairen should do the same, and Hetai would not dare to make an exception. Only in this way can the punishment be clarified. I sincerely ask your Majesty to convict you!"

As soon as Princess Hetai spoke, she immediately compared Song Yunjin's actions to a clown. Even the queen couldn't help but touch her forehead and look away gently, not wanting to look directly at her.

Song Yunjin's face could no longer be described as ugly. Fortunately, she was covered with a veil, so no one could see her embarrassment and embarrassment, preserving her last trace of dignity.Originally, Song Yunjin wanted to drag Shen Wei into trouble. After all, the other party was the real accomplice. In terms of crime and punishment, Shen Wei was the one who could not escape the blame.

Moreover, Shen Wei, as the concubine of the former King of Qi, was considered half-royal daughter-in-law, but she pretended to be dead to escape and deceive the emperor. In fact, she committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was punishable by death.

But Princess Hetai's remarks directly wiped out Song Yunjin's plans.

If Shen Wei faked his death to hide it and concealed it, then he himself, who planned this incident, would also be guilty of deceiving the emperor. Wouldn't he be punished with the same crime as the other party?
Her purpose is to gain support from others, not to involve herself.

Thinking of this, Song Yunjin lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all his unwillingness and resentment.

Now I can only accept the punishment temporarily, calm down His Majesty's anger first, and then make plans after the news has passed.

The Holy Emperor was always kind to him, and by handing the sixth prince and the fifth princess to the queen for temporary care, he really saved himself from worries.

Seeing that Ning Bin's "confession" had finally stopped, everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief.

In order to convict this man, the Qin and Chen families racked their brains and troubles.

Now that the dust has settled, Shen Yuan doesn't feel any joy in her heart.

This should have been something to be happy about, but in order to convict Ning Bin, His Majesty was actually "offended". It is true that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and everything in the world is unpredictable.

Shen Yuan secretly glanced at the superior emperor and felt helpless.

The emperor always cares more about his own face and dignity than others. Today, the Qin and Chen families have repeatedly disobeyed the holy will, making Emperor Qianyuan unable to step down. No wonder he is angry.

But if he doesn't do this, the emperor will resort to his "harmony" method and handle the matter lightly. In the end, Song Yunjin will be punished with a painless punishment, but it will be the Qin and Chen families who are upset. .

This is a result that Shen Yuan and others cannot accept no matter what.

Therefore, "it is better to embarrass others than to wrong yourself." Even if the emperor comes, Princess Hetai and Shen Yuan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have the same determination in this matter.

It doesn't matter if he suffers a little punishment, as long as he can defeat Song Yunjin.

In the imperial study where the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, everyone was holding their breath waiting for the emperor's response.
